Town youngster Darren Ambrose has committed himself to the Blues for four years. The 18-year-old progressed well this season and was a stalwart of Dale Roberts' championship-winning reserve side and made his first team debut against Arsenal.

Previously Ambrose, who hails for Harlow, had a deal which ran to the end of 2002/03.

Earlier this week Ambrose's housemate Darren Bent signed a new three-year deal at the club while Ian Westlake has signed for a year.

U19 keeper Lewis Price and midfielders Robert Dickinson were both recently offered one-year contracts at Portman Road.
